incassare — Italian conjugation

to cash in, to pocket

Frequency#1196Regular

Indicative

Present (Presente) Regular

The presente covers habits, ongoing situations, and plans about to start — much like English “I study” and “I am studying”. One present tense does both in Italian.

Lavora da casa tre giorni a settimana.

Pronoun	Italian	English
io	incasso	I cash in
tu	incassi	you cash in
lui/lei	incassa	he/she/it cashes in
noi	incassiamo	we cash in
voi	incassate	you (pl.) cash in
loro	incassano	they cash in

Simple past (Passato remoto) Regular

The passato remoto tells a completed, narrative past, especially in the south and in literature. The passato prossimo is the normal spoken past in the north, so you choose register and region, not a difference in time alone.

Quella sera arrivò tardi, senza alibi.

Pronoun	Italian	English
io	incassai	I cashed in
tu	incassasti	you cashed in
lui/lei	incassò	he/she/it cashed in
noi	incassammo	we cashed in
voi	incassaste	you (pl.) cashed in
loro	incassarono	they cashed in

Imperfect (Imperfetto) Regular

The imperfetto is for incomplete past actions, context, and repeated or habitual situations without a clear end. The passato prossimo, not the remoto, is its usual “event” partner in speech.

Da bambina passavo le estati al mare.

Pronoun	Italian
io	incassavo
tu	incassavi
lui/lei	incassava
noi	incassavamo
voi	incassavate
loro	incassavano

Conditional (Condizionale) Regular

The condizionale is for polite “would you…”, first-condition hypotheticals, and reported future from a past point of view. The classic if-chain is se + imperfetto → condizionale.

Potresti alzare un poco la voce?

Pronoun	Italian	English
io	incasserei	I would cash in
tu	incasseresti	you would cash in
lui/lei	incasserebbe	he/she/it would cash in
noi	incasseremmo	we would cash in
voi	incassereste	you (pl.) would cash in
loro	incasserebbero	they would cash in

Future (Futuro semplice) Regular

The futuro semplice is for predictions and far decisions. In speech you often hear the present (with a time adverb) or a paraphrase, and a famous trick is the futuro di probabilità for a present guess: saranno le tre.

Domani partiremo all'alba.

Pronoun	Italian	English
io	incasserò	I will cash in
tu	incasserai	you will cash in
lui/lei	incasserà	he/she/it will cash in
noi	incasseremo	we will cash in
voi	incasserete	you (pl.) will cash in
loro	incasseranno	they will cash in

Present perfect (Passato prossimo) Regular

The passato prossimo is the workhorse preterit-like past in the north and in everyday Italian: avere/essere + participle, essere for reflexives, motion, and other change-of-state patterns.

Siamo andati a piedi, poi abbiamo preso l'autobus.

Pronoun	Italian	English
io	ho incassato	I have cashed in
tu	hai incassato	you have cashed in
lui/lei	ha incassato	he/she/it has cashed in
noi	abbiamo incassato	we have cashed in
voi	avete incassato	you (pl.) have cashed in
loro	hanno incassato	they have cashed in

Pluperfect (Trapassato prossimo) Regular

The trapassato prossimo is “further in the past than another past” — the Italian pluperfect. It pairs with a main past clause to mark sequence.

Avevamo già mangiato quando suonò il telefono.

Pronoun	Italian	English
io	avevo incassato	I had cashed in
tu	avevi incassato	you had cashed in
lui/lei	aveva incassato	he/she/it had cashed in
noi	avevamo incassato	we had cashed in
voi	avevate incassato	you (pl.) had cashed in
loro	avevano incassato	they had cashed in

Conditional perfect (Condizionale passato) Regular

The condizionale passato is for unreal or missed past results and often appears with se + trapassato prossimo in the protasis.

Avrei accettato, se mi avessero avvisato in tempo.

Pronoun	Italian
io	avrei incassato
tu	avresti incassato
lui/lei	avrebbe incassato
noi	avremmo incassato
voi	avreste incassato
loro	avrebbero incassato

Future perfect (Futuro anteriore) Regular

The futuro anteriore says something will already be over before a still-later future, or, like the French, can express a logical guess about a past result.

Entro le cinque, avrà già lasciato l'ufficio.

Pronoun	Italian	English
io	avrò incassato	I will have cashed in
tu	avrai incassato	you will have cashed in
lui/lei	avrà incassato	he/she/it will have cashed in
noi	avremo incassato	we will have cashed in
voi	avrete incassato	you (pl.) will have cashed in
loro	avranno incassato	they will have cashed in

Subjunctive

Present subjunctive (Congiuntivo presente) Regular

The congiuntivo presente is required after many verbs and fixed phrases of will, fear, purpose, and doubt. Impersonal and semi-impersonal triggers (è importante che) also force the subjunctive mood.

Penso che sia la scelta giusta.

Pronoun	Italian
io	incassi
tu	incassi
lui/lei	incassi
noi	incassiamo
voi	incassiate
loro	incassino

Imperfect subjunctive (Congiuntivo imperfetto) Regular

The congiuntivo imperfetto is the past of the congiuntivo system after a past matrix clause and in se + congi. imperf. → condizionale with unreal conditions.

Se avessi più tempo, viaggerei ogni mese.

Pronoun	Italian
io	incassassi
tu	incassassi
lui/lei	incassasse
noi	incassassimo
voi	incassaste
loro	incassassero

Other forms

Imperative (affirmative) (Imperativo) Regular

The affirmative imperativo reuses the tu form as 3sg for -are verbs, while other conjugations use the normal tu present. It is the direct command register.

Raccontami com'è andata l'esame.

Pronoun	Italian
tu	incassa
lui/lei	incassi
noi	incassiamo
voi	incassate
loro	incassino

Imperative (negative) (Imperativo negativo) Regular

Negative commands use non + full infinitive in modern Italian, which is a distinctive rule compared to other Romance languages. Polite or indirect “please don’t” can still soften the tone in context.

Non aprire quella finestra, per favore.

Pronoun	Italian
tu	non incassare
lui/lei	non incassi
noi	non incassiamo
voi	non incassate
loro	non incassino
